Then cease and desist pretending to be a transducer manufacturer … How many retailers did you recently attempt to hawk your speakers to ? ;)

I told you how many , did you forget already.


You have never shown a picture of your system .
You probably never made anything in your life .
The only thing you can do is produce useless anonymous comments to people like DDK who actually do something.


DDK contributed 10 times more value to this forum ( what is left of it ).then you ever will.

He did get Peter to let go of Magico :)
Yes … The beginnings of a sad decline ;) Only Joking as I have owned CN -191’s way before Da Utah Massive came on line … Nice speakers for mid range music genres tho an obvious bass / upper disconnect … Larger scale classical or more dynamic , Nope . But we are heading way off topic here .

like it , fantastic designed TT, not feeling the crunched look thou , shouting CNC gone bad!
Well, Its as I would like it to be , should I commissioned this to be made for me , very artisan and over engineered , superb !! “ Truly a statement piece “ congratulations to those involved in the manufacturing.

It would be good to get the spec on this, especially the drive, just for interest sake. Concrete floors need only apply , lol.

Not my cup of tea. I always thought the previous one was rather primitive looking but when I did see Peter's in person it looked much better (and of course I was impressed with its performance).

And I do like bling.... I like the Wadax for example, but this doesn't work for me - at least not from the pic and video I've seen.

Obviously an Object d’Art. Someone, maybe sometwo, will make this the centerpiece of their analog kit. Is there an explanation beyond the art aspect? Is there any functional aspect to the multifacet design of the base?

Here is a dedicated thread to this new turntable with Hillary Hahn video and more details about the facets on the base. Yes they serve a specific purpose. Everything has a reason in this design. Weight: roughly 1400 lbs.

Lamm first then speakers. Lamm is the key.

David introduced me to options. He sent me two different pairs of Lamm amplifiers, the SS M1.1 and the SET ML2. The former were great on the Magicos, but once I heard the SETs, I had to get different speakers. It was clear. Despite what Fleece says, there is no comparison in sound quality, especially the bass quality between the Magico and my first generation 1950s Vitavox.

My American Sound turntable then followed. A local friend just bought one of the original American Sound turntables from someone who is stepping up to “The Absolute Nothing”.

After all is set and done ( 3-6 months whatever ) its only SQ what remains..
No matter how good the tooling /machining is of audio products .

Quite something to comprehend, a 130kg+ platter balancing on a thin sliver of air. Just that in itself is beyond impressive. Congrats seems too low key a phrase to pass on.

160 kg in one piece ! :eek: Maybe a motor lift for a V8 is needed to lower it correctly !
